All kids have issues with constipation at one point or another. Some kids seem to always be dealing with it. Either way, it’s hard to see children in discomfort or pain from this condition. Indian home remedies for constipation in kids are a good way to keep control of the condition without modern medicine that is not formulated for kids. Herbal Medicine Remedies are always the safer route to take.

Indian Home Remedies for Constipation in Kids

There are many ways to help children who struggle with constipation. My oldest used to always be constipated when she was a toddler. I made her some special applesauce I called “magic applesauce” because I made it with prunes. She loved it!

However, apples produce pectin once they are cooked for applesauce as their natural chemistry changes. The pectic actually works to increase constipation, therefore making this applesauce useless.

But there are ways to decrease the amount of pectin produced in your applesauce! Follow these steps:

Make sure your apples are super ripe and NOT tart. Tart apples contain the most pectin.

Remove the skins and seeds from the apples BEFORE cooking.

I like to use a 3:1 prune to apple ratio

You can add apricots or pears to the applesauce to cut down on pectin

Indian Home Remedies for Constipation

Here are some of the most effective Indian home remedies for constipation in kids:

Juices like prune, pear or apple often help soften the stool. Give 4 to 6 ounces once a day for kids but don’t water down pear or apple juice!

Do not give prune juice to infants, even if it is watered down; it is irritating!
